More about the movie

Animal is Sandeep's third film after Kabir Singh and Arjun Reddy. Like his previous movies, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer was called out for toxic masculinity and misogyny. Having said that, the polarising reactions to the film haven't affected the movie's fate at the ticket window.

A sequel to the film, tentatively titled Animal Park, has been confirmed. While Ranbir will be seen in a double role, Triptii Dimri is likely to have more screen time in the film.
